Fuel System/Engine Management
Ensure that both cables are
tightened, as a loose locknut could result in a sticking
throttle.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or stuck throttle can
lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
9. Refit the coolant expansion tank and tighten the
fixings to 4 Nm.
10. Refit the intake cover. Tighten the screws to 9 Nm.
11. Refit the headstock covers. Tighten the screws to
3Nm.
12. Check that the throttle opens smoothly, without
undue force and that it closes without sticking.
Rectify as necessary.
Operation of the motorcycle with an incorrectly
adjusted, incorrectly routed or damaged throttle cable
could interfere with the operation of the brakes, clutch
or the throttle itself. Any of these conditions could result
in loss of control of the motorcycle and an accident.
Move the handlebars to left and right full lock while
checking that cables and harnesses do not bind. A cable
or harness that binds will restrict the steering and may
cause loss of control and an accident.
Throttle Body Balancing - Rocket III
and Classic
Note:
• The Triumph diagnostic tool does not support
the throttle balancing adjustment for Rocket III
Touring. For Rocket III Touring throttle
balancing see page 11-185.
• Rocket III and classic throttles cannot be
balanced using equipment to measure vacuum
in each throttle. Instead, the Triumph
diagnostic tool must be used.
1. Remove the intake cover (see page 1/-147 for
Rocket III and Classic, see page 1/-151 for Rocket III
Touring) to allow access to the adjuster screws.
2. Connect the diagnostic tool, start the engine and
navigate to 'ADJUSTMENTS' (see page
1/-30>.
3. Select 'BALANCE THROTILES'.

• The balance throttle screens show the vacuum
value of each throttle In mm/Hg. In addition,
when the throttles are balanced to an
acceptable range of each other, the word
'balanced' will appear in the top right hand
corner of the screen. At this point, no further
adjustment is necessary or productive.
